When it comes to salads, I quickly chop up whatever veggies I have in the fridge and throw in some greens whether its spinach, arugula, or butter lettuce. I don't want to spend hours on a salad, let alone the salad dressing! This simple 3-step dressing is super quick and super tasty!

You would never guess how tasty this is from such simple ingredients:

D-dijon

O-olive oil

L-lemon juice

S-salt.

These ingredients are almost always on hand anyways which makes this dressing a cinch. Just whisk the 3 ingredients and you're done.

D.O.L.S. Dressing

(measurements depends on how much you are making and your taste)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Juice of 1/2 lemon

1/2 tablespoon dijon mustard

pinch of salt

1 Whisk all ingredients together and adjust according to your taste. If it is too lemony for your taste for example, add a bit more dijon and oil.

About a year ago, I made my first salad dressing from scratch - using pretty much exactly this process - and haven't picked up a bottle of pre-made ever since! Once you get the hang of it - and DOLS is a great way to remember - you can go all over the place with whatever citrus, mustard, vinegar, oil, etc. you have on hand! Great post, Zoe.

Love this...it's what I use on Parmesan Chicken, served on butter lettuce. My main dressing is Nora Ephron's from Heartburn: 2 T olive oil, 2T vinegar, 2T dijon. THe proportions are just perfect, whatever vinegar you use...and you can add/subtract on the dijon.
